Dublin-based Eaton has recently unveiled its EV Charging Busway, a plug-and-play solution to add, move, and expand charging infrastructure without rewiring. It is engineered for last-mile delivery, fleet and services with multiple passenger vehicles or medium-duty trucks.
The solution utilizes Eaton’s 600V Pow-R-Way III busway and incorporates a 19.2 kW AC Level 2 charger into the bus plug for direct vehicle charging.
EV Charging Busway features a retractable cable management system for AC Level 2 chargers that keeps cords and electrical equipment off the ground. It also supports ground-mounted DC fast-charging pedestals.
The solution is said to be highly scalable, rated for indoor use, and easy to install and service. According to Eaton, it can reduce the installation time by 40%.
